Actually, I am a massive Formula 1 fan, I don`t have any interest with Nascar because I live in Europe and this sport is not popular here and so hard to follow... So, this game is so enjoyable and a bit strategic. You have to think twice, before pass a car and fight to keep your position. Crashes are good, graphics are not bad but not so good either. It has career mod, and provides you to make contracts with sponsors. Thus you can earn money and upgrade your car etc..I highly recommend, you can buy it in discount.

If you like to go fast with a package of Columbian bam-bam under your car, then this is the game for you. The game is pretty unplayable without a controller, and even with one the steering is so sensitive that the slightest twitch of your joystick and send the car into a wall

This game is a lot of fun. Can be extremely frustrating. Playes well though and the graphics and pyhsics are brilliant. If you love NASCAR and you have plenty of patients you'll like this game. make sure you do the practises and get your weels at the top of the charts on each run, and aim for pole, if you can get round the first corner in first place your on your way to victory

Nascar The Game: 2013 brings us a door2door oval racing experience that can be challenging, but it's frustrating due to problems it has.

Yes, I've played this game a lot. When you get into it, it's not just "driving to the left", but it does provide decent amount of challenge with Ai drivers (when they work as they should), and adrenalline filling experience by trying to get better position. There are 43 cars on the track and it's easy to crash into somebody and cause a pile up. Well, sounds great, doesn't it? But there are lots of problems that we just simply cannot overlook. First of all, Ai. Sometimes they're over-agressive, sometimes they are too slow, and sometimes they are stupid enough to blindly crash at certain tracks into a wall causing a Caution and restart. This is pretty stupid, considering that when the Ai works, game shines, gives you decent fun and challenge. When cars start to crash into your rear quaterpanel, it gets frustrating to the point of even shutting down and deleting the game from HDD. Game is VERY unbalanced. On some tracks Ai is slow, on some it's too fast even on easy difficulty. When you're qualifying, sometimes you end up first even on hard, which is unnaceptable because I was playing on keyboard. Sometimes Ai is too agressive and doesn't use brakes at all and crash into you or other opponents, causing massive pile up. They just slam into you. If it weren't for ai, this game could be best NASCAR game to date.

Graphics are Ok. Textures are nice, not that blurry. Models are nicely detailed. Game has awesome audio departament. When you even touch car in front, it actually feels like it and has a decent "punch". The mechanic on radio who gives you instructions doesn't annoy you, he is helpful enough to make you aware. Damage could use some polishing too because while sounds are great, deformations and effects of collions are not really good. You can blow tire and need to pit. Sometimes you just scratch the wall and you end up disqualified due to damaged vehicle (which is stupid). You can also DNF other vehicles, but it's rather rare and unrealistic. Overall damage model is bad and should be improved in next game. Optimisation-wise it's nice, but a lot people report crashing when pitting which is annoying, considering that this issue was acknowledged by developers but hasn't been resolved.

Career mode is lacking too. It does have car upgrade, but nothing more than that. You cannot even use you own repaint (even if there is nicely done paint booth that gives you countless possibilities to make your own dream repaint). You're forced to one that game dictates you to. There is also no crew improvement or management which is dissapointing.

Physics are well done. Car reacts to bumps, has nice suspension work, and actually has the feel of weight. Xbox 360 controller works here OK, but there are lots of people that have problem setting it up. It's worth mentioning that some of the common steering wheels doesn't work, which is also stupid, considering that this game is meant to be played with a wheel to get most out of it.

Multiplayer is really buggy and unplayable with more than 1 player. Other players often are miles ahead of the actual position, there are lots of lags, and fake crashes (game shows that player spins, but in fact he does not). There are TONS of bugs, which is shame.

Overall, game lacks a lot. Lots of promises by Eutechnyx that hasn't been delivered. Repaint DLC's are not worth the asking price (5,99 Euro each), and game itself is not woth the price aswell at this point. Developers tried to resolve issues with this game, but they failed, and there are no more patches after DLC's releases, which is dissapointing because this game has a lot of potential. In it's current state it's barely 5/10, but in beta it was much better, reaching even 8/10. There is no excuse for it now, as it is released.

Waste of money, and sadly waste of potential. It's pretty sad example of game abandoned too early by developer trying to grab our money for product that barely works.

This game is good with beutiful graphics! Sadly most of us who have the game can't play it because of a bug that makes the game crash everytime you play it. Devs haven't fixed this in the long time they have known about it. Don't buy it.

I love Nascar. However, the devs in this game completely missed the mark. Half arcade/half sim, this game doesn't know what it wants to be. Certain areas are far too technical, while others are too boring. The handling of the car is also severely underdeveloped. On top of all of this, the AI is massively broken. They will crash you if you are within a few feet of them and often get trapped in full field crashes at smaller tracks like Bristol, which turns the game into a traffic jam simulator.

This game is unfinished, the devs have abandonded it, and any further titles should be avoided until Eutechnyx is out of the picture.

The game isn't perfect, far from it though it is fun. This is the developer's 2nd NASCAR game, first on PC, and it improves from the first a bit but still isn't perfect at what it does. I've played NASCAR video games all my life and this is is still fun for all the flaws it has. Those flaws can be quite noticeable at times though, such as the AI being complete idiots at some tracks where as on others they never miss a step.

Visually the game is amazing, looks great with good audio to go with it. If Eutechnyx could buckle down and fix their AI, they would knock it out of the park. Sadly it seems they enjoy making what they can playable then pushing it out for cash.

Some of these bugs that people complain about have been around since their first NASCAR game, on consoles. Not pleasant to see they never fixed them but who knows why they remain the way they are.

You might be wondering why i still recommend this and the only reason I do is because it is fun. it's a NASCAR game, you buy it to drive around in a race car. it's not advertised as a simulator, it's advertised as a NASCAR game and that is what it is. Not a perfect one, there have been NASCAR games that have come way closer than this one, but it is still a fun one nonetheless. I only hope NASCAR 14, with a new publisher supporting them, is where they finally make the NASCAR game we all want.

I've held off buying this for a long time becaue of the negativity around it but under £4 in the week long sale I've gone for it.

A few hours in and I'm having a blast, much more fun and way better than the reputation led me to fear. Handling is nice, the cars have real weight, the spotters instructions are vital and really well done and the driving challenge is pitched just right across the easy/medium/hard range.

A bargain for £4 but if I'd played it before buying I would have been happy paying more.

I guess the name says it all... It felt like a game. What I want is a racing simulator. Save your money. It's actually worse than NASCAR 2003 (Papyrus) and NASCAR SimRacing (EA), both about ten years old. Garage is limited. Controls are limited (many more pit and communication commands in the other games). No importing paint schemes from Photoshop. No TrackIR head tracking. No 3D support. And new paint schemes are offered as $$$ DLC.

Piece of ♥♥♥♥ game,instead of fixing the game the devs choose to bring out skinpacks lock topics delete treads on forum you name it.I have had it bigtime with this Nascar the CRAP 2013 Devs go F yourselfs..

First off its a fight to get your Wheel going. I use a Logitech GT, a wheel i would consider as "standart" and till today i have to run this with my XBOX360 Controller.

On top of that the A.I. is bugged, you kinda don't survive a single corner without a caution (well sometimes you do, but thats course the game don't detect your car spinning and landing on the roof and the other cars just drive and drive and drive....and no yellow flag pops up at all).

The most hilarious race i had was Charlotte. I only wanted to start a quick race, i had to do some stuff so it was 8 Laps.I actually had 27 Cautions in those 8 laps. The A.I. is not even trying to hold its line or is killing each other constantly.

Multiplayer is more like a lottery, auto-matchmaking system with 2-3 people play over the week. Have been in one race so far which wasn't alot of fun with that netcode and jumping cars.

To that comes the fact that Nascar The Game "2013" got alot of Paintshemes from 2011 and 2012, so nothing that drove last season at all.

So if you wanna drive a good NASCAR game get iRacing or...anything else.

Yes, honestly everything else is better. Even Pacman is a better and more authentic Nascar game then this.

I hope NASCAR is pulling the license from those guys.
